My English
Monday, April 18, 2005   By: Br'er Juan

45% Dixie

Your Linguistic Profile:

45% Dixie
35% General American English
10% Yankee
5% Midwestern
5% Upper Midwestern
 
I, obviously, need to work on my English.  I can accept 35% General America English - after all I do have a J.D.,  which was bound to affect my language usage. And then I went three pickels short of a barrel and got a job in TV, where Midwestern is emphasized as the appropriate compromise for a national language.  But where in the world did 10% Yankee come from? My grandmother would skin me alive.
